It’s payback time for the Sharyland Rattlers as they take on the Hanna Golden Eagles who defeated them 28-23 last year. The fact that the game is being at the friendly confines of Richard Thompson Stadium this time around should help the Rattlers take care of business against the Golden Eagles, who are 1-2 so far this season.
Despite their sub .500 record however, Hanna is currently ranked fourth among the Valley’s Top 10 teams.

Against La Joya last week, Sharyland head football coach Ron Adame split the quarterback duties pretty evenly between junior Robert Mancha and sophomore Orly Lopez.
Mancha completed six of his eight passing attempts for 83 yards while Lopez completed seven of his 12 passing attempts for 101 yards and two touchdowns.
